Standing on the Promises OF God

seek him deep , for "deep calleth unto deep" ( psalm 42:8)




"Though the mountains be shaken
and the hills be removed,
yet His unfailing love for you will not be shaken
nor will his covenant of peace be removed,"
says the LORD, who has compassion on you. "



"O afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted,



God builds with stones of turquoise,

foundations with sapphires.

He Makes our battlements of rubies,

And our gates of sparkling jewels,

and ALL of our walls of precious stones... "

ISaiah 54:11-12


My my my.....

This is one of my favorite Verses- just the Structure and Radiance of how vividly wondrous the Rich and divine nature of Gods real beauty from the precious precious rock he is- living in us, continually reflecting his shine from heaven-He imparts heaven on earth- into us, his vessels to experience just a taste of how good , what a luxury we are called to live in - oh i am just melting inside-

What a promise in this La la la Love so extravagant in radiant real beauty......

as much as i want to be adorned with all of these precious stones....lol..... it is first written on ones heart :)


oh jesus















Cali Dreaming...... Arise and Shine.... !



God IS a god who restores....

"Instead of bronze I will bring you gold,
and silver in place of iron.
Instead of wood I will bring you bronze,
and iron in place of stones.
I will make peace your governor
and righteousness your ruler. " isaiah 60:17


ok! night night- sleep tight in his mighty mighty delight :)
May the sun bring forth the finest the moon can yield -
Sunshine Rainbows and magestic signs in the sky- imparting more of heaven on earth- his kingdom come! the riches, oh the splendor! more of this life we are called to live- he came so that we may experience the abundant extravagant life of love in high places- eternally progressive in us until his comming - john 10:10)
angels and arch angels shall continually plead our cause-night after night they pour forth speach- -- for his great names sake, god is so faithful and HE WILL do it the one who santifys us Spirit soul and body through and through! Oh his divine nature and surpassing peace- we are blameless in his comming, his love shall never ever fail, for the floodgates are open

THanks A LOT , Lot....

ok So.

Like Why do we settle for simply convenience when we know god is calling us and leading us to an exceptionally high place ? did you hear that ???????

an EXCEPTIONALLY EXTRORDINARY HIGH PLACE.

(Ok First sorry wait---- so Just Got in from watching the movie 2012. Hmm what to say in short. God I love you. Jesus: WHAT AN HONOR IT IS TO HAVE YOU AS A SAVIOR. I have so many things to say and laugh about in comic relief of this 2012 movie. The Enemy has the world so numb and spiritually stupid trembling with fear. The one thing the enemy is good at is being patient eh???. The false emotions, false humility, where is everyone turning to? where are they running to who are they trusting??? and lack of any line of context or what matters in this movie- is seriously messed up- The funnest thing about the last line in the movie. 7 year old girl says to dad, : " Daddy, no more pull ups" wow... great.. like i sure as hell dont think you will be finding a pair of pull ups after the earth has just cracked and been deystroyed lol !!!
faith hope and love- have not love, i am just a clanging gong ( wait till you see the Tibetan man clang the gong- he speaks of faith- hope... uh...and??? oh what is he clanging again? oops gong gong gong....oops hes gone! washed away like snow, b ye bye). The special effects are pretty rad , oh and i love this stuff the TSUNAMI wave was so cool!!! The president played the best role (like a real man of god would) and did an honorable thing for his country to follow in his character. Ya so if you see it and your a believer in Christ- you obviously know before you go in to see it anyways what to expect. Did you know even the producer of the film showed every faith crumbling - even the Rio DI-Genaro Jesus structure- except the Islamic religion--- i read that he did this only because he was scared for his life the consequence if he showed Islam Muslim destroyed? ( i dont know who their idol is again) but anyways FEAR- This fear of the world---- The Producer himself was fearful- of a condemning world wack eh??? )

ok

Back to my word i have just brief here.

What are you settling for as an exit point instead as an entry point to enter into a HIGH life of heavenly inheritance and eternal glorification?

Read Genesis 19- focus on 19 14-17 ( i am taking this from a completely different angle- then what most people would- so try to hear me out now ok and, I really pray that i dont offend anyone who maybe feels like a coward sometimes for making the wrong choice because it was just "convenient" or you know whatever it is.... I know i have felt i have dont this alot in my life!)

Genisis 19:14-17

"When Lot hesitated, the angels grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, "Flee for your lives! Don't look back, and don't stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!"

But Lot said to the angels "No, my lords, please! Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can't flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I'll die. Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn't it? Then my life will be spared." ( ps-That town is named Zoar, because it is very little.)


Anyways dispute
God shows that He cares more about rescuing the righteous than destroying the unrighteous – saving people is much, much higher on God’s agenda than condemning. Clearly . God and his unforsaking love that never gives up on us.....Even if we may be bloody cowards . God still saves us- his chosen before he will destroy the non . And so the Angels urge Lot to save himself and preserve his family along with him. Lot is a slow selfish lazy coward- probably felt embarrassed and pretty crazy when he was trying to share with his future son in laws that god was going to destroy the city.... Come on lot!- So the angels, They infact have to grasp his hands and escort him- his wife and daughters to flee out of the city. Because of this Lot barters with the angels- and they did agree not to destroy the small town of Zoar- where Lot ends up selfishly ending up- INSTEAD OF THE MOUNTAIN .

Again....The lord still saved Lots life, yet Lot chose to settle in a low place rather then a high place where i am sure the view would of been worth it....( read a little bit further in Genisis 19 and then what twisted crookedness ends up happening becuase he is stuck in a lowly cave??? why wouldn't he just trust god!? - the same god who could blind all of the Sodom and Gomorrah crazy men trying to barge down his home, uh what!? god couldnt ensure Lot fled to the mountains safe with his family and crew. Lot; sorry to say it- but YOU ARE A PUSSY!!! Lot You spoil the angels with hospitality - yet when the time comes.. You cant answer the damm call on your life? Rise up and Run to the life you were REALLY called to live?!- on top of a mountain with your wife and family and their finances??? Aww man- another man in the bible who really needs some hemmm hemm... balls. BIG BALLS. (excuse my language.)

OK forgive me. I hope that will speak to you.


Ya we live in a crazy Sodom and Gomorrah times. The world is WACKO and yes without god - one would satisfy desires in some pretty twisted sick selfish arrogant ways eh? i speak for myself, and yep. I have been there. Uh hello. Hollywood ? I cound not imagine life without God, without knowing where my LOVE is really sourced from. What an honor we have being co-heirs with Christ for this heavenly inheritance. Many are called, few are chosen. And even better said. It is easier for a camel to go thru the eye of a needle then for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God- when life is already comfy so many Christians just settle- but truth is- GOD IS PROGRESSIVE his kingdom is progressive!
Sweet Jesus. God is so compassionate. God who sent his messengers to carry us along and along- even if we may be pussys and cowards at times - he really is so faithful to ENSURE we are LED forth into salvation day after day. But Why do we keep settling for a smaller "city" a lonely cave when we have the option of being carried and led to a mountain Top? Whats it going to take?


OK anyways i have to go to bed. I just had to get this word off of my chest for all those who feel like cowards sometimes or have ever made some pretty s t u p i d decisions in life. ( remember i never write about a word what i have not or am not being taking thru in my faith walk....!! :) )

So, SO SO much love love love over you. And just remember , what AN honor we have to be chosen. Like seriously this love is so Momentously deep THAT can fill any void in life any fear- perfect love cast out fear. His love is So rich and so real- super naturally real . The life of love in him is So SO so worth more then life we think we have already made no matter if we think we already have a pretty "high" life. His love is better then life. God is the god who rescues us because he delights in US! He brings us out of firey pits and wants to bring us into very spacious places (psalm 18) SO DONT SETTLE FOR LESS!!! I challenge ya mates: So whats it gunna take??????

SUpertramp . Oh your Bloody well Right!!!!

OK Supertramp,

You seriously Rule.
rick davies and roger hodgson.
Like Where are you today? They rock out. I want to be your friend.
So ya superT randomly came on today and i forgot how hyper it they make me.
love when the oldie goldies come back at ya. pump it up!!

Anyways crazy week- today was all the way Vineland to Downtown for an audition to play the role of a scandinavian Ski bunny- uh... ya. Please laugh. a XC ski bunny for a large olympic BELL commercial.... thats the cool thing uh need i say.
God have your way, i am just this vessel. i continue to trust god for more oppourtunities advancing his kingdom- the way HE wants. - Its not about me anyways. If he wants me in this commercial- then he will have his way, if not there is something better comming. Many are a plans in a mans heart- but only the lords will prosper. He is just most concerned with obedience. Uhmmm and sometimes thats the hard part is just TRUSTING and not trying so hard to get what we want- Cause if ya get what ya want? THEN WHAT????

His ways are so much more rad then our ways. the plans and dreams he has for us are so much more magestic as the stars in procession. For his thoughts are HIGHer- just as the heavens are higher then the earth! so yep i am not going to say anymore.. gods words will not return to him empty when he speaks!! Read isaiah 55. Its one of my favorites! Is so So securing that god IS and is Always doing a good SOLID thing in us- His purpose his plans provail over ours!

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD.

"As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,

so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands! isaiah 55:8-12


However, i am not going to lie I am going to share.
My biggest guilty splurge today.
I lately have had an extravagant fleshly desire to purchase really really like really tight pants just this past week.
I spoiled myself today and purchased a pair of Armani Exchange jeans amd they fit like a glove. They are classy and have two big angel wings on the bum. and my bum is just aching to wear them tomorrow and take flight- or fight! oops. watch out mom.

Annnnnnnd ok i also fell in love with a 30,000 Mother of Pearl , Rose Gold Breitling like mega "Lady bling" Watch. real rich materials in this god made diamond of a watch.

I also have a male store clerk who is wanting to taking me on a date now who is half my size. seriously why is it only men half my size ask me out?....

Jesus this is why i am cooped up in "borrington still?...."

just kiddin...




ANyways. Supertramp ya gotta "give a little bit" ( to your self no?).... The logical song. Dream dream dream, dreamer....
Yes ok just go dig up an old supertramp album. Your heart will smile and uh like laugh cause seriously this music aint just making history, but history MAKERS :)


Night night!
and may the Sun bring forth the Finest the moon can yield!

Love cyd

City And Colour

Ok city and colour- ok just say this picture and it made me think of the band city and colour whom i been listening to old cds lately! if you do not know em already... AMAZING hit-- "save your scissors" ( one of my favorites) or "sometimes" comming home?

Jesus i continue to pray for more passionate men to be revealed thru music... Aww man it just gets me cause i LOVE music. real beautiful sounds raw and real. I love Guitar- acoustic- i love instrumental and heavy bass... oh the harmony that can come out from the simplicity of a chord. Men with balls- who can sing i think is so beautiful.
That star guitar player i still vision of- a man playing acoustic guitar- but really does he know he is playing a harp as the angels do up in heaven - acoustic inner rhythm with gods holy spirit-- sound doctrine- sound minds - = sound and found lives
all in gods time- when he just pours out so much LOVE- that we have no choice but to receive it and how divine and supernatural it is when it hits you- makes you feel like the only kid god has chosen- and the spirit of revelation- just stretches open the eyes of ones heart . Like wo-ah. Uh yeah. Ps-- YOUR LIFE IS A SET UP! ( prepared in advance to do good work for the kingdom.....:)) the hard thing is receiving it- like paul says in Ephesians 3 -- a pray that we would be ROOTED and established in this love that we may have this power- together with all the saints to GRASP just HOW wide how LONG- how high and how DEEp is this love of Christ- and to know that this love surpasses knowledge-- that we may be filled to the meausre of all of GODS FULLNESS- he can and will do immeasurably more then we ask think , imagine or DREAM..... like its huge. So huge. super natural . Universal. paramount Volcanic explosive love of god living in us. Woa ah... pull the pin.. shes gunna blow.... wink wink - jk---

anywho Darrel green- amazing acoustic player, and his voice- makes me cry - what a gift this man is ( also back up for alexisonfire) sings kinda lowly- but in its time, i believe god will open his eyes becuase of how rich some of his lyrics are -- yes the world does have very very thick skin- here is NO why????? closer closer closer.. he will be somebody ones he uses somebody.... :) what a numb numb world we live in. spiritually numb


( ok "Muscles" not even sure how to describe them. From Mel borne Australia. Completely different- but i like to mix it up a bit. ice cream going to save the day?? tecko poppy maybe a flex or two.. lol i donno just listen to them they will make you laugh- very light ok very light :)) ouhhhh ahhhhhh..... !! wow.... only in very small doses ok :)



alright i gotta go to bed. ps. Today is my birthday, but i was not going to tell anyone- but here does not even matter because i am pretty sure no one reads my blog anyways . It also happens to be 9/11... Alls i can say is that i am looking forward to sushi with two amazing asian superstars who know how to order in the correct language. -

Toby Mac-- "city on our knees"-- love this song. ( i also love you too toby mac... :)) do you have a brother? wink wink


one birthday request:

pray that god would open the store house of his bounty so that my Wine sales would prosper! :) ps-! The kingdom of god IS NOT ON RECESSION!!!

"Even if you sleep where the sheep sleep,
the *dove will have *wings of *silver and *feathers of gold!" psalm 68:13





"The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the Holy place." psalm 68:17
Of ONE God -- shhh.... sorry i stole this picture-- but it says it pretty clearly in the sky...:)

Vertical Garden

Life is a beautiful garden.
Life is a beautiful vertical garden.
Yet dont forget that vertical gardens are still pruned. Trimmed , shaped and picked at . Require Love , Water and much Much sun light..... god is the true gardener.




" "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." LUKE 23: 42

Sushi Wha whaaaaaa?

jimi rocks the box still....


ok like wow

i thought i was mental for how i play with my food.....



aww puppy love for sushi.. seriously....

ok sorry i am so lame for posing these.


so much for my appetite.. !

O- Hi- O!

OHIO!!

Aww so here are a few pictures of this evening - the sky was sooooooo amazing out it was like cotton gandy with a golden glaze- we were trying so hard to get the fire in the sky in our pictures- but by the time you get one blonde- a chinese... and another jap- now that we are international- at stoney ridge- james ANd Sonomi- - ( sorry sonomi... lol ) we missed the prime time to snap the pic! Thats ok tho...

So this is Sonomi.

She is the one special part about my day that makes me laugh really hard.

She has such a great sense of humor.
Ya such a light free spirited heart once you get to know her and understand that
english is her second language- once ya break the ice with sonomi- she really is a wild kitten.
purr )

aww Her laugh makes me laugh.
We have way too much fun sometimes - moving shit around.
"quality control" checks on the wine.. you know- ensuring the tasting notes are up to par for the cheese.... uh i say no more.... sonomi has taught me much!
infact i think i always end up laughing harder when i am on the way home and reflect on some of the comedy that goes on at this Stoney ridge estate winery. " niagaras garden winery"
Excuse my language - but lots of shit storms- ( but with out the storms we would not come out washed after rght? :))

The most beautiful thing about Sonomi - is that her name actually means "BEautiful Garden" in Japanese! which explaines why everyday the first thing she does is go out the garden and replace every single flower vase with fresh roses- she even brings her own gloves to get good grip right into the roses!!! and has explained a few of the cutest flowers to me-- we have roses.. that are called "iceberg" roses- they look like bunches of lettuce!!



I know i always think of sonoma country also- like hot and sunny cali! when i think like sonoma means --- "valley of the moon" also- she is that garden in the valley of the moons magestic fair still beauty on glow.

Clearly is Japaneses- and she teaches Japanese at Brock university She has also given me some great lessons too. But i need her here to remember again.... uh how do i say it again

Anyways ya sonomi rules. I love her to death.
My territory now is corporate christmas so i have been kicked up to the upstairs office making love on the phones tangling up myself in the cords locking myself in the presidents office and secretly eating cheese... shhhh ....:).....and the best part is just running down the stairs to make sure she is still smiling about something stupid and silly :) becuase we all know you cant take life too too seriously- the best is yet to come!!!

She is such a hard worker and i know that God has a big blessing for her humble humble hard working heart. And i just pray that he would open up that door for her exactly where she needs it most because she is a real porcelin doll with a sweet heart of flesh in that vessel she stands in! god says--

"The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm,
"I will NEVER again give your grain as food for your enemies;

Nor will foreigners drink The NEW Wine for which you have labored."
But those who garner it will eat it and praise the LORD!

And those who gather it will drink it in the courts of My sanctuary....." isaiah 62 8-9

"I say that there is still much time for NEW WINE IN O9!!"

its a divine time.... prime time... reveal the new wine time...

amen!





Sonomi has great style too!!!



She may be half my size but she is twice as fast!!!





si-an-ara!

:)



Just another word- i wrote before all of these pictures--- its pretty comfy too! )


Lord GOD says,
"I will forgive them for leaving me
and will love them freely,
because I am not angry with them anymore.


I will be like the dew to Israel,
and they will blossom like a lily.
Like the cedar trees in Lebanon,
their roots will be firm.
They will be like spreading branches,
like the beautiful olive trees
and the sweet-smelling cedars in Lebanon.
The people of Israel will again live under my protection.
They will grow like the grain,
they will bloom like a vine,
and they will be as FAMous as the Wine of Lebanon.
Israel, have NOTHING to do with idols.
I, the Lord, am the one who answers your prayers and watches over you.
I am like a green pine tree;
your blessings come from me."

A wise person will know these things,
and an understanding person will take them to heart.
The Lord's ways are right.
Good people live by following them,
but those who turn against God die because of them. hosea 14 : 4-9


ok--

I love this verse its really been speaking to me about how gods love for us is so Free-
no matter what!!!
NO Matter what we have been thru- who we are- who we think we are- or even run from him and to another...- seeking what we know only he can provide it the way we need it - he has such compassion on his chosen ones. Such a wonderful chapter to be at the end of such a book.

I had never expected from such a prickly shrub to gather so fair a flower, so sweet a fruit;
but so it is: where sin abounded, grace doth much more abound.

No chapter in the Bible can be more rich in mercy than this last of Hosea 14 it makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside- becuase i know where god has saved me from- and he continues to!!!

Where we looked for the blackness of darkness, behold-- woooah wooah-- a noontide of light!”

Its like God is too great a physician to allow any patient to leave His office without being healed- and its SO TRUE!!!

when we go to him- he restores to us what we tried to find elsewhere- just as this i going to break it down---

Growth is restored (WE shall grow)

· Beauty is restored (we shall grow like the lily)

· Strength is restored (lengthen our roots like Lebanon)

· Value is restored (our beauty shall be like an olive tree)

· Delight is restored (our fragrance like Lebanon)

· Abundance is restored (revived like grain . . . grow like the vine . . . scent and OUR FAME shall be like the WINE of Lebanon)



OUR branches will spread: When God restores Israel, we will be a blessing to others, not blessed only unto himself.




Total dependence on the grace of God...

Gos nature to love love love love them freely


free love free love free love :) uh......

ok anywho
thats it- just a lovin word that i had to speak outta my heart



i was hiding in the garden

sonomi jordan and I again


ok bye
